    Who wins this one? Is Eggington too young? Rios clearly does not have the same pop at 147. I like both fighters but I don't want to see Rios get hurt. If Rios wins this one he should retire. But sadly I think he'd get a confident boost and try and take on the top guys at 147 and get hurt badly. Pac ruined Rios' career. Not because of the damage he inflicted but because of the payday. Rios has absolutely no motivation in boxing at all after Pac. By the time he wanted to take it seriously again it was too late. He had a good showing agaisnt Garcia but his body is just not the same.

    Rios is a face forward brawler who wins by out-toughing his opponent

    He obviously failed miserably in doing this when he could no longer make 135 and beat up smaller men. (same somewhat with Broner)

    Eggington will beat him if he's tough enough.

    But really a man like sam should just simply be putting a jab on Rios and cruising to a win...Sam gets drawn into fights which favors Rios.

    Rios is more skilled than Eggington but Eggington has more power and more youth imo.

    Rios is basic as hell. So is sam really.

    If you can box on the outside decently well you put these men into fits.

    Nah Rios is more crafty than you think. He's very skilled at fighting on the inside.

    Meh I don't rate him...i'm probably being harsh...but against a British level guy he will probably come out on top.
